<p>A first device 10 has a touch sensitive surface 12 adapted to sense an input gesture provided by a user, and a transmitter for sending a signal indicative of the sensed input gesture. A second wearable device 20 comprises a receiver responsive to receiving a signal indicative of an input gesture provided by a user of the first device; and a physical sensation imparting surface 23 adapted to impart a physical sensation to a user of the second wearable device. The physical sensation imparting surface changes state based on the input gesture provided by a user of the first device. A change of state may comprise: a change in temperature, a simulated change in surface texture, a movement that causes a change in position of a part of the physical sensation imparting surface relative to another part of the physical sensation imparting surface, and a change in electrical charge. The system thus provides an alternative means of communication in which a user can relay a particular motion or action to another user without using text or audible communications.</p> |
